The Cisco 2600 series router is replacing the current 2500 router due to its flexibility with the
WAN card design. The 2600 can support many different hardware configurations in a single
chassis. In fact, the customer can mix and match both LAN and WAN resources by simply
changing boards on the chassis. The 2600 series router is generally positioned in a branch office
site or small central facility.

The Cisco 3600 series provides two, four, or six module slots, depending on the model. The
2600 series router provides only two. A 3600 series router is considered a central office piece
of equipment because the flexibility and port density are so high.
